Those swedes, those swedes
Was at the opening of Minc – the Malmö Incubator – friday afternoon and evening. Once again the swedes are pulling ahead showing an almost scary professionalism in creating the right enviroment for innovation.
The Minc incubator is a very stylish 2,500 square meter renovated building in the harbour area – just at 4 minute walk away from Malmø central station.
Funded by the municipality of Malmø with 35 million swedish kr. the place offers working places plus consulting/coaching for a fee of 1,500 swedish kr. per month per person in the startup.
The VD/CEO is Anders Sjöstedt of old yalayala fame. Yalayala was involved in creating Unitedspaces which unfortunately didn’t do too well – but Anders has learned the lessons and created a magnificient place building on his experience.
Nice example of collaboration between the goverment and the private sector – is Copenhagen ever gonna wake up?
